SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No; 755,145, dated March-22, 1904:.

Application filed August 1, 1903. Serial No. 167,881. (No model.)

bow.

The essential feature of the invention consists in the fact that thecover in the closed position of the bin is secured or held by a bar orhook. The locking-bar is formed as a carrying-handle and is pivoted atone end to the carrying-bail. At its other end, Which is provided withan elongated eye, it engages a hook 1 arranged on the wall of the bin,the vertical part of said hook being bent inwardly.

In the annexed drawings, which show one form of the invention, Figure 1is a front view of the bin; Fig. 2, a side view, and Fig. 3 a plan viewthereof; Fig. 4:, a detail view.

To the bin or vessel ais pivoted or otherwise resiliently connected thecarrying bow or bail Z), to which the cover 0 is attached. To the bow bis fastened a bar or hook d, formed as a handle and having an eye or thelike e, adapted to pass through a hole f in the bow 6. The other end ofthe bar d is provided with an elongated eye or loop g, which is insertedin a hook it in order to prevent movement of the bail I). In theordinary position, in Which the bar d serves only as 'a. closinghook,the latter is placed with its eye g in the hook it on the vessel a. Inorder to open the bin, the bow d is pushed against the wall of the binin such a manner that the eye Q can be disengaged from the hook it; butif it is desired to use the handle (2 for carrying purposes the eye willbe engaged into the inwardly-bent part i of the'hook h, by which thehandle (Z is prevented from springing out of said hook it. By thisarrangement the advantage is gained of being able to arrange a handle ator near the top of the vessel which does not interfere with the freedomof movement of the carrying-bail.

I declare that What I claim is 1. The combination with a bin of a carrying-bail, a cover attached thereto, a hook fixed to the wall of the binand a locking-handle engaging said hook at one end and the bail at theother end to prevent movement of the latter substantially as described.

2. The combination with a bin of a pivoted carrying-bail, a coverattached thereto, a hook fixed to the wall of the bin, and having itsvertical part bent inwardly and a locking-bar in the form of a handleconnected at one end to the said bail and at the other provided with anelongated eye adapted to engage the aforesaid hook, substantially asdescribed.

In testimony whereofI aflixmy signature in presence of two witnesses.
